this will be mostly YGO oriented. Jianu and her familiars are OCs from my DBZ
fanfiction. I've been told by readers that don't normally care for OCs that they
rather like Jianu and company so I must be doing something right. So sit back,

Chapter 1 - First Day Melee

Opening theme: Higher and Higher

x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Mentally berating his forgetfulness, Yugi Mutou raced down the halls of Domino High
towards the shoe lockers. Today he and his friends were eating out in the courtyard and
he'd accidentally left his lunch in his book bag, forcing the small teen to make the long
trek back to their classroom. As he changed into his outdoor shoes, the tri-color
haired teen's thoughts drifted to the new students who'd arrived that day.
Supposedly, the school had accepted eight transfer students from West Capital High, which
had mysteriously been blown up by an unknown party, thus forcing all the students into
temporarily transferring to other schools. From what he and his friends had gathered
from all the rumors flying about, all but one of them were foreigners. The ones they
had seen were unusually tall with athletic builds that, combined with their ethnicity,
made them stand out in the crowd. As for the remaining two, who were both supposed
to be in Yugi's class, no one had a clue as to their appearance as they had yet to show
up. 'I wonder if itoko(1)-chan's the missing one?' he thought,
jogging around a corner, ' Nah, I'd have gotten a letter or a phone call . . .'

Yugi's train of thought was brought rudely crashing to a halt as a nasty senior blocked
his path. "Goin' somewhere Mutou?"

"J-just to lunch, Takeda-kun."

Across the yard, one of the missing transfer students watched with narrowed eyes as the
huge teen hauled the poor sophomore out of sight and darted after them without a second
thought.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Blue-gray eyes flashed dangerously as their owner arrived in time to witness poor Yugi
being on the receiving end of a punishing blow to the stomach. Enraged, the teen
resisted the urge to vaporize the bully on the spot and instead settled on punching him in
the back of the head sending the brute crashing to the ground.

"Ya know, nothing pisses me off more than
seeing behemoths like you pickin' on someone that can't fight back," Yugi's savior
proclaimed in a light alto voice.

"You're dead!" Takeda snarled, coming up off the ground swinging at his unseen
opponent.

Shaking his head to clear it, Yugi looked up just in time to watch his attacker slam hard
against the brick wall.

Striding over to the fallen bully, the mystery
teen hauled him up by the collar and pinned him to the wall with one hand, leaving his
feet dangling well above the ground.

"Now let me make this perfectly clear, you
so much as look cross-eyed at Yugi, and I'll make sure you go through life with a
permanent limp. Do you understand?" the teen growled lowly into the bully's
face, gentle alto voice sinking into a rumbling tenor.

Still on the ground, Yugi couldn't help but
giggle and shake his head at the other teen, 'Some things never change,' he
thought climbing painfully to his feet. Unfortunately he hadn't realized his balance
was off and swayed on his feet only to have strong arms wrap gently around his shoulders
in support.

"Daijoubu ka (3), Yugi-chan?"

"Uhn," (4) Another giggle. "I think you made him wet his pants."

A smirk. "Guys like him never can handle facing someone with real power."

"Yeah, and the fact that you're a girl makes you even scarier, Jianu-chan."

The female in question pouted indignantly, "Hey! I resemble that remark
(5)!"

"Yugi!"

"Yugi-kun!"

"Hey! Let him go!"

Turning to face the approaching quintet of teens, Jianu Kreiger raised a slender eyebrow
at them, ((Friends of yours?)) she sent telepathically to the small teen while
offering a dry response to the newcomers, "If I let him go, he'll fall over."

((Hai, now be nice.)) Yugi responded silently.

((Hey! I'm always nice!)) Jianu replied indignantly.

"Suuuurre you are Jianu-chan. That's why Takeda's scarred for life now,"
the shorter teen drawled, unconciously switching from telepathy to speech.

"Brat," Jianu snorted, "would you rather I have let him keep pummeling
you?"

"No, but it doesn't change the fact that you can be scary at times," Yugi
replied, giving the tall teen an odd look.

Jianu pouted, "I'm hurt, Yugi-chan."

"Riiight."

Their bizarre conversation might have continued further had both teens not felt the sudden
wave of jealousy and confusion directed their way. Jianu inwardly smirked, the
jealousy was coming from Anzu. At the same time, Yugi was giving his friends a
sheepish grin as he realized that none of them had any idea what was going on.

"Ah, gomen ne (6), minna," he apologized, " I shouldn't keep you in the
dark."

Jianu smiled and ruffled his hair, earning an indignant squawk from the shorter teen.
"Now, let me see if I can guess right: you're Honda, you're Jounouchi,
you're Bakura, you're Hanasaki, and you've gotta be Anzu, ne?" she stated, pointing
at each teen in turn.

".........."

Stunned, the teens in question stared slack-jawed at her.

Yugi and Jianu shared a look then dissolved into wild laughter. They were really
having too much fun with this.

"Hey! What's so funny?! And how'd you know who we were?" Jounouchi growled,
peeved that the two seemed to be sharing some private joke.

Jianu smiled brightly at them before bowing politely, "Hajimemashite (8)."

Yugi's friends stared slack-jawed at the tall female, "WHAT?!!"

"Yugi-kun, why didn't you tell us your cousin was going to be in our class?"
Bakura asked.

"Honestly, I didn't know it was her until she rescued me from Takeda-kun."

"So that's what happened to you!"

"Uhn."

"You know, other than the hair, you two don't look like you're related," Honda
commented as he eyed up the very tall teenage girl. Like Yugi, she had long,
slightly jagged, blond locks of hair falling in bangs and framing her face, setting off
her blue-gray eyes nicely while a riotous mane of magenta-edged, black hair cascaded down
to her knees. She stood slightly taller than he (Honda) did, and for some reason,
was wearing a boy's uniform.

Over the course of lunch, Jianu gave the group an abbreviated tale of why she and her
friends were attending Domino High. It wasn't that she didn't trust Yugi's friends,
but she just wasn't comfortable telling them the whole story yet. After all, there
were certain facts that, while they wouldn't bother Yugi, might bother the other teens.

Luckily they seemed more interested in learning
just how exactly she and Yugi were related.

"Oh. Gomen, I thought I had. But
yes, Mom is from America. She met my dad while he was attending college in the
States," Yugi told his friends happily. "There are seven Kreiger siblings
total, four girls and three boys, Jianu's dad being the middle child and my mom being the
youngest," he continued.

"We've got a LOT of cousins on that side of
the family," Jianu added with a grin.

Shaking off his incredulity at the potential size
of Yugi's family, Jonouchi changed the subject.

"So Jianu, how exactly were you able to
scare off Takeda?" the blond asked, knowing from past experiences that the bully
usually needed to be physically stopped.

"Well, after I punched him in the head, we
had a "discussion" about leaving Yugi alone," she replied matter-of-factly.
Seeing the wide-eyed looks of disbelief she explained further, "I've been
trained in the martial arts since I was two. It's a family tradition . . . Mom's
side."

Feeling another subject change was in order, Anzu
asked about what had been bothering her, "How come you're wearing a boy's uniform,
Jianu-chan?"

Sighing in exasperation, the blue-gray eyed girl explained, "When we got enrolled,
the principal insisted that we all have Domino uniforms on our first day, so we came in
last week to get fitted for a set." Jianu shook her head, "Somewhere along
the line, there was a mix-up in my order and instead of getting the girl's uniform, I got
the boy's. The assistant principal pitched a fit over it, which is why I missed
class this morning. It took forever to iron things out, but they finally decided
that as long as it's a Domino uniform, it's okay," the tall martial artist
deliberately didn't mention the fact that they had only conceded to let her wear it after
receiving a phone call from Bulma. "Personally, I prefer the boy's uniform and
the fit is perfect so it's really comfortable."

"It's a dragon ball," she replied holding up the baseball sized sphere by it's
cord to where everyone could see.

"What's that?" he asked, staring at the orange, glass-like ball with three red
stars floating inside. For some reason the stars looked the same from every angle.

"This one in particular is sanshinchuu, 3
star ball. Sanshinchuu is an ancient artifact of unknown origin, one that
archeologists have as of yet, been unable to put an age on."

"Really?"

Jianu nodded, "There's a legend that says if
you can gather all seven dragon balls together, then you can summon the Eternal Dragon
Shenlon and he will grant you any one wish that is within his power."

Jou was skeptical, "And they let you wear it
around your neck?"

Jianu raised an eyebrow at the blond,
"Yugi's wearing a one-of-a-kind, 3,000 year old Egyptian artifact around his
neck."

"Touché."

"Don't you worry about someone trying to
steal it?" Ryou asked, thinking of his own darker half.

Jianu shrugged, "Not really. Certain
parties have tried and failed, multiple times," the tri-color haired female stated
with a vicious grin. Yugi rolled his eyes at his cousin's dark enthusiasm and shook
his head in exasperation while his friends shared a look, this didn't bode well.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x

After lunch the gang returned to class with their
new addition in tow. Having missed homeroom (9), Jianu hadn't been assigned a seat
yet, so she settled for leaning against Yugi's desk until their next teacher arrived.
Unfortunately for the new transfer, they'd arrived early enough for the tall girl to
get mobbed by their overly curious classmates.

((A little help here?)) she mentally
asked Yugi, who was watching and giggling at her current predicament.

((Gomen, Jianu-chan. There's nothing I can do, honest! Just let them hover
for awhile and they'll eventually calm down on their own,)) he advised his nervous
cousin.

((How long will that take?))

((Depends. Bakura-kun had to go through the same thing on his first day too!
`Cept all his fans were girls,)) he snickered mentally.

((You suck.))

Her sulky declaration made Yugi laugh out loud, earning himself a lot of odd stares from
friends and classmates alike. Jianu just pouted.

Lucky for her, their teacher's arrival had
everyone scrambling for their desks. Still not sure where to sit Jianu remained
standing by her cousin, only to receive a nasty glare from the older woman that had just
noticed her. "Just what do you think you're doing in here?" she demanded,
"Get back to your classroom before I report you!"

Staring back evenly at the rude woman, Jianu
replied politely, "I am in my classroom. I'm a new transfer and this is my
first day."

"Hmph. Well, Kreiger-san, it seems you
are supposed to be in here," she sneered. Stalking over to the closet, she
pulled out a textbook and tossed it to the tall girl. "I don't know what your
old school was studying, but I expect you to participate regardless. I also expect
you to wash out that hair dye tonight! Bad enough you're wearing a boy's uniform,
but coloring your hair is against school policy!"

The livid woman looked fit to explode before Yugi
piped up, "Excuse me, sensei. Jianu-chan is my cousin and her hair is as
natural as mine."

Growling, the woman glared at both teens before
something occurred to her. There were much better ways to make the girl suffer for
her attitude. With a suspiciously saccharine smile, she moved on, "Why don't
you take a seat, Kreiger-san? I believe there's an empty one behind Kaiba Seto.
Kaiba-san? Would you raise your hand so Kreiger-san can-" the teacher cut off
when the brunet teen compiled, "Ah, thank you Kaiba-san."

Still bristling slightly on his cousin's behalf,
Yugi gave his cousin a wry smile as she passed him. ((Welcome to Domino High,
itoko.))

Smiling back at the petite teen Jianu made her
way to her new desk, all the while sizing up the brunet teen she'd be sitting behind. Yugi
had told her about all his encounters with the young CEO but he hadn't once described
him. As she took in his fathomless blue eyes and lanky build, the first thing that
crossed her mind was, 'Damn he's cute.'

Mortified by her own thoughts, her eyes widened
slightly, 'I did NOT just think that!' Mentally slapping herself, Jianu
took her seat and focused her attention on reviewing her new math book. 'Damn
hormones.'

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

And here's your mini-Japanese lesson for the day. Don't let the numbers scare you,
this is the longest one. You might want to remember some of these though, they'll
show up again later.

1 - cousin
2 - yes
3 - are you all right/okay
4 - sound of affirmation, like saying uh-huh, yeah, yup, etc . . .
5 - No that's not a typo, and yes I do know what "resemble" means. It's a
play on words.
6 - I'm sorry
7 - everyone
8 - pleased to meet you (used for first time greetings, semi-formal)
9 - In most Japanese high schools, students are assigned one classroom. They do have
different teachers for each subject but instead the teachers are the ones who change
rooms. Students do leave the room for gym and labs and often share these lessons
with other classes.
10 - teacher
